This morning when i wake up I saw my mom talking to my cousin,s wife i thought they just visiting us but it's kind weird because she brought some clothes and crying. She had a big fight with my cousin and she doesn't know where to go. She remembered what i told her before that if case of emergency or need help she can came to me anytime, and now she's here. I am glad she came here because we can help here and keep them safe. I called my cousin to informed that his wife and daughter are here and there's nothing worry about. When were talking over the phone my cousin was crying and regret what he had said and done. I am hoping they can fix it as soon as possible because their daughter is very sad and i can see it in her eyes. I am planning to bring her to the mall later so that we can have some cake and ice cream, and were going to timezone to play. I am hoping she can forget her sadness even for a while.

You are a nice Tita to your niece my friend , keep it up!
Quarrels between couples can really affect their children. So, as much as possible they shouldn't do it in front of their children. They can just do it in the confines of their bedroom by themselves only.
It's nice that your cousin owns up his mistake to his wife.

When my husband and i were in our early years of marriage, we always fight also. But we do it when our daughter is already asleep. Thus, she can't hear us fight.
I have also thought of leaving the house, but i have to think of my daughter who will be greatly affected. And thank God that i don't do it, because after a day, we are again okay.

Hi SIMPLYD, thank you my friend. I agree with you, as possible they shouldn't fight in front of their daughter because it can affects her feelings and for sure it will affects her emotional development too. My father told to them to calm down next time try to solve their problem first instead of fighting.

Your cousin and his wife are so lucky to have someone like you in the family. At least he can rest assure that his family is safe and within the custody of family so they will be fine. I also believe that when times are tough, we must act like a real family and be there for each other. So far we haven't experienced any situation that is worse than that but each time there are some minor issues, I am glad that the rest of my family also believe that as family, issues must be resolved because we are all together in this.

Hi Raine, were the only nearest relatives they got here in the city and we want to keep them safe as much as possible because were family. I agree with you when tough time came we can only count on to our real family. My parents are doing they best to talk to my cousin and to his wife to figure our what the cause of the might and how they can solve it. I am hoping they can solve it so soon or else i will call my aunt so that she can take care of my niece.

It is very sad when a young child is caught in the middle of their parents problems.. I am so happy to hear your cousins wife was able to come to your place and be safe.. It is so comforting to know that even with the ecomny people are still willing to help their extended famiy in a moments notice.. I hope your cousin and his wife are able to work their problems out.. Granted there is always a possibilty that their relationship may be over... But they are connected for life with their little girl.. There will be events that she will want both parents there and it to be a postive experince.. I hope all goes well for you and your whole family;-)

I am so happy that your niece is doing good, and it sounds like she is getting some quailty aunty time;-) Fighting in front of your niece would devaste her.. Regardless of what anyone would say she will think that she did something wrong.. Even if they wait until she is a sleep she can wake up but not get up just lay there.. listening.. Yes it is easy to start yelling when there is a heated discussion.. They could always step outside or go some where else if they need to scream at each other.. Not that it solves anything; just sometimes can not be avoided..

hi bhebelen,
Good thing that she can rely on you in this kind of needs
Fight and misunderstanding is just natural but if they are both physically, mentally and emotionally battered most of the time I think it's better to separate lives.
hope they will fix things soon
happy mylotting
by the way can you buy some ice cream and cake for me too? just kidding

I am glad that they could count on you. some people just say for the sake of formality and when the time comes to help they back off. You are doing good work, I am sure you are a good human being and that's why you can't see people's sadness. the little girl will love it at the mall and sadness will go away. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Hi riyauro, i am glad that they came here or else they might lost because they just transferred here in the city few weeks ago. When i told my niece that were going to mall later she started to smile and talking again like nothings happened. She told me that she loves strawberry cheesecake and vanilla ice cream like me.

OH.Yes. I hope it'll be fixed soon. They should talk again and try to fix things up. Let's pray that it wouldn't take them any longer to forgive each other. And for her daughter, I remember my niece's reaction when she saw my brother and my sister-in-law fighting and shouting at each other. It brought her trauma that everytime she hears someone shouting,or even arguing, she cries. So we always see to it that she's in a happy environment. Have a great icecream cone with her. :)

I hope that especially for the little 3 year old girls sake that they are able to work things out. I dont know what happened why she ran from him but I am glad that she went to your house and you welcomed her in to keep her and the little girl safe. I think you are so nice what you are doing for your neice taking her to the mall for ice cream and to play at the timezone. I hope it makes her feel a little better.

My cousin's wife is very nice person and her daughter is very cute and lovable, we can not reject them because they already part of our family. Also we are willing to help them to fix their problem as long as we can. If your in my situation for sure you will also do the same, right?

Really hard to live such type of person always fight, arguments whenever meet. But if your mom is saying then you should polite behave with her. But great you are feeling happy you want to help them when staying in your home. Yes this is good idea child always like ice cream, cake etc.

Yo uare such a good aunt and a cousin at that. I can relate in this discussion. For I was in that same situation, I am the one, shoulder to cry on person. It really saddens me if I see people fighting and end up separating. I hope they can patch up things and move on. Life is too short to be like that. Thanks

Life between husband and wife,not because of some chores between both parents,work and friends,as well as spouses itself and produce little friction,good control of small friction can eliminate,and vice versa will grows increasingly large will be out of control,then tend to be hurt most children(in the case of children),due to the small children do not understand the big world of those things,and ultimately lead to the breakdown of the family.

. Even though the children can't understand what happening in her surroundings but when she/he felt something wrong it will affects her feelings and scared them too.
